Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen — 188" Electric, Wall or Ceiling Mounted

The Da-Lite Cosmopolitan Series Projection Screen is a high-capacity, electric screen solution engineered for large-format presentations in corporate, educational, and home theater environments. Designed for versatile installation, it supports both wall- and ceiling-mounted configurations, making it ideal for spaces with varied layouts, sightline requirements, and projector placements. The Cosmopolitan features a standard white powder-coated housing with a black backing to preserve brightness for front-projection surfaces, ensuring crisp, vivid images from the widest possible viewing angles. Its motorized operation is paired with a convenient decora-style three-position wall switch, enabling easy raise, lower, and stop control without relying on remotes or complex control systems. Built to handle frequent use in busy rooms, this screen combines robust construction with a clean, unobtrusive profile that blends into modern interiors while staying ready for high-demand screenings—from corporate briefings and training sessions to large classrooms and immersive home theater setups. With a generous 188-inch diagonal and a premium projection surface, the Cosmopolitan delivers reliable performance, consistent brightness, and excellent image fidelity across diverse lighting conditions, helping presenters engage audiences and illuminate content with clarity and impact.

• Massive 188-inch diagonal creates a dominant image that fills the screen for large audiences, while maintaining precise brightness and uniformity across the surface for consistent color and detail from every seat. The large format supports high-definition sources with ample throw distance, ensuring vibrant, film-like images even in sizable rooms. Whether you’re delivering corporate briefs, training modules, or cinematic sequences, the Cosmopolitan’s front-projection surface preserves edge sharpness, color fidelity, and subtle gradations in shadows for readable text and compelling visuals from the back rows. The screen’s brightness and contrast are optimized for typical conference rooms and classrooms where ambient light cannot be fully eliminated, delivering readable graphics, clear video, and comfortable viewing without eye fatigue.
• Electric, motorized operation offers convenient, hands-free retraction at the push of a button. The system is designed for smooth, quiet cycles, minimizing distraction during presentations and classrooms where noise must be kept to a minimum. The motor is engineered for durability, supporting thousands of open/close cycles with reliable performance, while the decora-style wall switch provides quick, intuitive control. For environments seeking integration with room automation, optional remotes or control modules may be available through retailers, enabling centralized scheduling and seamless operation across multiple screens.
• Flexible mounting options let you choose wall or ceiling installation. The Cosmopolitan's mounting versatility simplifies retrofits in existing spaces and supports optimized sightlines, whether the screen is mounted flush to the wall or suspended for ceiling clearance and projector alignment. Ceiling-mounted configurations free projector height restrictions and help minimize shadows during demonstrations. The sturdy mounting system is engineered for long-term stability, with precise alignment features that keep the screen square to the viewer even after frequent operation, preserving image geometry and discarding the need for frequent realignment.
• Front-projection surface optimized for brightness and clarity. The screen material is designed to hold projected images with high contrast and fidelity, producing crisp whites, deep blacks, and accurate color reproduction even in rooms with ambient light challenges. Black backing helps reduce light bleed and enhances perceived contrast, while the surface resists deterioration from heat, humidity, and routine use. For presenters, this means reliable performance with a broad viewing sweet spot, uniform brightness across the entire surface, and minimal edge distortion, ensuring that graphs, text, and videos remain legible from every seat.
• Durable, low-profile housing with white powder-coat finish and black backing. The rugged construction reduces warping and sag over time, while the backing minimizes light transmission through the housing, preserving image quality and extending the life of the projection setup. The exterior finish integrates neatly with most interiors, concealing mounting hardware and delivering a clean, professional look in conference centers, classrooms, and home theaters. Maintenance is straightforward, with accessible service points and a design that resists dust buildup and routine wear from frequent use, helping to maintain consistent image quality for years.
